Lenovo 20CD0033US Desktop Management Interface, Preboot eXecution Environment, Asset ID Eeprom

Desktop Management Interface

The UEFI BIOS of your computer supports an interface called System Management BIOS (SMBIOS) Reference Specification, version 2.7.1. SMBIOS provides information about the hardware components of your computer. It is the responsibility of the UEFI BIOS to provide information about itself and the devices on the system board. This specification documents the standards for getting access to this BIOS information.

Preboot eXecution Environment

The Preboot eXecution Environment (PXE) technology makes the computer more manageable by enabling the computer to start from a server. Your computer supports the personal computer functions that PXE requires. For example, with the appropriate LAN card, your computer can be started from the PXE server.

Note: The Remote Initial Program Load (RIPL or RPL) function cannot be used with your computer.

Asset ID EEPROM

The Asset ID EEPROM contains information about the computer configuration and the serial numbers of the key components. It also includes a number of blank fields where you can record information about the end users in your network.
